A lot of people who pre-ordered have been getting a "purchase is not complete" error when trying to activate their pre-order. We know this sucks! The good news is that we've been working with our e-commerce and software activation provider and successfully found the problem. Over the next hour peoples orders should start unlocking properly. Yay! We're really sorry about this, but the troubles should be over very very soon.

In the mean time, if you pre-ordered and can't wait for us to finish fixing things behind the scenes, we can manually unlock your purchase. To do that, you can click the "Activation Support" button on the bottom corner of the game's launcher screen, and follow the instructions there to email us your hardware fingerprint and order number. Note that we have a pretty deep backlog of manual unlock emails which we have four people replying to as fast as we can, so while we'll get to you as soon as possible, the reply won't be immediate.

Anyway, sorry again for the problems, but we should be through the worst of it. Thanks for sticking by.

I'm still downloading, and hope I don't hit this snag, but Telltale, you guys are awesome.

There's a bunch of people whining like babies because they couldn't get it all happening right at the instant at which they expect it, but you're clearly working your arses (sorry, asses... Aussie ;-) ) off to get it sorted out for each and every one of us.

Oh, sweet mercy. It's weird, hiding inside while outside a bunch of Dutch fellows scare the pants off of my classmates in a bit of extended Halloween festivities. They have three different kinds of air horns, chainsaws, some fellow who's REALLY good at cackling maniacally, and it's great fun to run through the demo with those sounds blended with girlish shrieks and generally manly shouts of surprise. I really hope they're still out there when I get my activation code.

And while I'm here, I'll throw my thanks onto the pile for those four poor souls working late tonight to makes sure we impatient nerds are having a good time.
